augment of germination rate is important in seedling establishment and crop yield. a set of study in laboratory & field conditions at agronomy department of university of tehran was conducted during 2004-2005. in lab. experiment the effects of seed priming was evaluated on germination indices (germination percentage and rate) of chickpea genotypes in a factorial experiment of 4×3×2 arranged in ...

to study the effects of halopriming and hydropriming in overcoming salt and drought stress in corn (zea mays l.),two experiments were separately conducted at shahrood university of technology. seed treatments consisted ofcontrol (untreated seeds), soaking in distilled water for 32 h (hydropriming), and soaking in 50 mmol solution ofcacl2 for 16 h (halopriming). germination and early seedling gr...

The objective of the this study was to compare concentrations of nanosized TiO2 at 0, 5, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg L(-1) with bulk TiO2 for phytotoxic and stimulatory effects on fennel seed germination and early growth stage. After 14 d of seed incubation, germination percentage highly improved following exposure to 60 ppm nanosized TiO2. Similar positive effects occurred in terms of shoot dry weigh...

in order to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on germination components and seedling growth of corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the seed technology laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili university, iran, during 2008. studied factors were: corn cultiv...

in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

Timely harvest is critical to achieve maximum seed viability and vigour in agricultural production. However, little information exists concerning how to reap the best quality seeds of Leymus chinensis, which is the dominant and most promising grass species in the Songnen Grassland of Northern China. The objective of this study was to investigate and evaluate possible quality indices of the seed...

salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...

to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...
